Division of Education Professional Development Programs
The NEH Division of Education supports professional development programs for K-12 educators, higher education faculty, and humanities professionals to study a variety of humanities topics.
-
Institutes are one to four-week professional development programs that convene K-12 educators or higher education faculty from across the nation to deepen their understanding of significant topics in the humanities and enrich their capacity for effective scholarship and teaching.
-
Landmarks of American History and Culture programs are one-week workshops held across the nation that enhance how K-12 educators, higher education faculty, and humanities professionals incorporate place-based approaches to humanities teaching and scholarship. The video below provides an overview of the Landmarks workshops being offered in summer 2024.

Stipends of $1300-$3450 for residential and combined programs and $650-$1725 for virtual programs help to defray costs for these one- to four-week programs.

Applications for all programs open on December 15, 2023 and close on March 5, 2024.
